A Cure for Your Trade Deadline Rain Delay Blues

With all the recent trades, the Marlins in ability to win games, John Buck, Heath Bell and now a rain delay in Atlanta, we want to bring a smile to some of you with some more ridiculous photos from the Clevelander at Marlins Park.

I know that some of you may find this post a bit over-the-top but frankly this is what is happening during games at Marlins Park so send your complaints to the Marlins, not me. And, since we want to be inclusive of all of our readers (some of you don’t find photos of topless female dancers to be interesting), I’ve added a photo of a topless Giancarlo Stanton at the end.

Enjoy!

I suspect the universe would cease to exist if John Buck faced Heath Bell

Remember when Braves fans and broadcasters made fun of the empty seats at Marlins Park? Here’s Turner Field today.

Looks like we’ve all been had. Zack Cox’s twitter account is: @Zkendrick7. Not sure why someone would run with a fake account for AA 3B.

I suspect the Marlins would take accept for a team to take Carlos Lee, Carlos Zambrano, John Buck, Heath Bell and their salaries.

Marlins really blowing up the current blueprint which they started back in 2006. 6 years is enough time to realize it didn’t work.

Marlins seem to be replacing all their replaceable parts.

Mujica and Webb (@TheFranchiseSHO)
@FISHATBAT

The folks at @TheFranchiseSHO must be happy for this Mujica/Webb story. Now Webb is back up and Mujica is traded away. Perfect script.

Marlins acquire AAA 3B Zach Cox from Cardinals for Edward Mujica.

@FISHATBAT

Scathing articles about Phillies and Cubs firesales and owners as “con men” in 3… 2… 1… Guess not. Only Marlins get crap.

@FISHATBAT

Marlins looking to dump dead weight MT @JoeFrisaro #Marlins are trying to trade John Buck, Team is expected to keep JJ.
